The 2017 Porsche Panamera 4S has 4 recalls, the most serious involving moisture entering the external coolant pump for the climate control system, which can cause an electrical short and start a fire.
The rear suspension on certain vehicles can shift unexpectedly, changing handling in ways the driver may not anticipate and raising the risk of a crash. On the steering side, the electric power steering system can intermittently lose its assist without warning, causing the wheel to suddenly feel much heavier, particularly at low speeds where that effort increase is most pronounced. There is also a brake-related concern: the brake pad wear indicator can fail to alert the driver when pads are worn through, meaning the driver may not know braking performance is degraded until control is already reduced.
